Arlen Lehman! He is back in business under a new name, LED Performance. I don't have any of his work, but in my followings of things related to 250r, he still knows his stuff and is doing amazing work.

That's awesome

Whats more awesome is i talked him out of his #1 xc riders top end that weekend also and we were filming huevos2 video also,usually the top guys engines do not get resold ,for example ,you can buy Chad reeds old race bike ,but the top end that was him for supercross does not go with it .

^^^TRUTH^^^ LOL!

I don't have any vids, but my wife has taken a couple of action shots while riding up in Tug Hill in northern NY... She got these pics as she was riding her z400 (which has since been ditched in favor of an ATC350x) as I passed her. Also, before I did the ESR 350 big bore.

Yeah, I can still hang on to the old brapp... Hurts the shoulders more as the shoulders get older! LOL!

The black one is the 350x I did for her.. View attachment 9966 View attachment 9967 View attachment 9968

Is that a super trap I se?

They do have three wheels if you ever need them.

How long did it take to restore that R? Man that thing is sweet! Lol!

Unfortunately no... It's a full DG system.

Love to get a Supertrapp for it.

Suckerpunch cycles used to be the builder's business, Donny Loose is the guy that built it. I still see him around and he still dabbles in bikes, mostly street bikes.

Not sure what the new name if the business is, drive by it all the time, might be working under the radar?? Obama, the IRS, and all bs that goes along with a commercial type business makes it tough!!!

Here by invitation. First post. Things look good. Same guy but different avatar.

Dang it, I sold that saw on my bench and never should have. The Stihl MS880 is hard to come by these days.
